After a month of suffering. And at the time of his greatest honor in the Roman Catholic Church. The Beloved Prelate, was the first American-born priest ever summoned to Rome to be come a member of the Church's Governing Curia. Apparently he knew when the final moment had come. He raised the Crucifix in his left hand, blessed those at his bedside- and then died. His right arm was amputated. Outside shot of North American College in Rome.
